leaving home at 18

Hi, I am turning 18 in july and i am wanting to move out and move away far. i am planning on stamford lincs but i have a girlfriend there and i know my family will think i am just doing it for her when in reality i am wanting to go to do a level 3 Animal Care extended diploma. I am currently unhappy at sixth form and wish i had never made the decision to do what my mum wanted me to do and stay. I am in a very difficult situation as i am not yet 18 and i can't just drop out as i have to be here legally. can anyone give me any advice on how to approach this?
